Hot on the heals of Healy's list, I present the other Ireland top international scorer list. As always, your time and energy in contributing to the process is much appreciated. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:43, 4 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments: Me again! I am almost tempted to tell you: just transpose most of what you have on Healy's page to this one and you're fine. But, I'll follow common featured candidacy protocol instead and give you my (non-copyediting-related) comments:

~~The lead image does not have alt text.~~
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
~~To be consistent with the table layout in Healy's list, I'd center-align the content in the "Cap", "Score", and "Result" columns.~~
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
~~Add to the "Statistics" section hatnote an explanation of what the "Score" column indicates.~~
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
~~Move the statistics source citation tag to the end of the caption of each table.~~
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
~~Now that I look at it: why not adding also the also appearances to the by-competition table? If you do, don't forget to update the caption accordingly.~~
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
~~If possible, wikilink (at least) the first instances of the newspaper/website and/or publisher parameters in citations, as they appear on the reference list.~~
Colonies Chris will just unlink them in due course though... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:51, 4 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
~~Ref. 7 has some problems. Also, can you format ref. 8 with a citation template?~~

I think it's better to let other reviewers post their comments before attempting some copyediting on the lead. That's it for now. Parutakupiu (talk) 20:48, 4 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Parutakupiu Ok, addressed or responded to your comments above, thanks for taking the time again to look at this. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Rambling Man, I've also performed a quick copyediting of the lead and tweaked the format of a few references. Please, check if the changes are OK for you. Nonetheless, I'm happy to support this candidate. Parutakupiu (talk) 14:16, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments:

From an image review perspective both images are properly licenced though the lede image still has no alt text.
Alt text added. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Citations look fine with Checlinks though several BBC links are redirects but they do preserve the link, so are only a very minor issue that could be easily fixed. I fixed citation 7 that had errors.
Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Personally I would prefer to see many fewer wikilinks in the tables, per WP:OVERLINK even though repeated links are permitted they really don't help the reader understand the topic; 22 Lansdowne Road and 44 Dublin links is just too much. Even just linking the first instance where there are multiple instance would be so much better IMHO.
I understand the concern. I am just trying to be consistent, not just internally, but across similar articles. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That's about all I can offer you but I like it. ww2censor (talk) 12:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for your comments! The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments

"in which he scored a hat-trick against the Faroes for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification." for the doesn't read right to me, perhaps during?
Ok. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
ref 9 is not formatted properly, no accessdate. Also can it be considered a reliable source?
I don't know, it was there before I edited the list and uses a template ((NFT player)), it isn't needed so I've removed it. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Looks good otherwise. NapHit (talk) 09:33, 20 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cheers for the comments, both addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Happy to Support now. Great work. NapHit (talk) 23:02, 20 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support on prose and style. Just two quibbles about referencing:

(Pedantic!), but Ref 2, 9 and 11 are BBC News articles, its Sport page didn't launch until 2000.
Publish date for Ref 33? Lemonade51 (talk) 04:10, 31 December 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The BBC refs do work and are online dates as stated and are listed under news not a specific sports section. However, sometimes the first click does not load the pages, but when you hit the reload button, the url works. I have dated ref 33. ww2censor (talk) 11:03, 31 December 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cheers both. The BBC website isn't behaving particularly well for me this morning. 2, 9 and 11 now published by BBC News. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:08, 31 December 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the ((featured list candidates)) template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. --Pres N 03:24, 2 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
